conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of
creditors generally.

subject to this provision), and clause (5) of Section 5.01 (and any other Events
of Default applicable to such series of Securities that are determined pursuant
to Section 3.01 to be subject to this provision) shall be deemed not to be an
Event of Default with respect to such series of Securities at any time
thereafter.”

breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with), all of
such covenants and warranties in the Indenture (as so supplemented) which are
not expressly stated to be for the benefit of a particular series of Securities
being deemed in respect of the Securities of all series for this purpose, and
continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has
been given, by registered or certified mail to HBO by the Trustee or to HBO and
the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such default
or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a
